New install here, and relatively new to linux. Got my 11.1 opensuse install on a thinkpad r60. Everything works very well, graphics all correct and whatnot.
I have a clean install of firefox (removed the default one with the branding and beagle stuff), and have the flash plugin too.
Problem is that all flash content on all web pages in firefox appear as an off-white box. The box is about the right size of what the video would be, I think. Absolutely no content though of the flash program.
Has anyone any ideas? Does anyone want to know more? (more on request).
I have tried using the adobe alpha 64bit libflashplayer.so file (no joy), the adobe flash installer (no joy - wrong architecture it says).

Ive removed it several times, as also with firefox. So if i need to start a fresh il use the yast thing and remove firefox and all traces of flash, then remove the .mozilla directories by hand to flush everything away.
